Abstract

Let DD be an integrally closed domain with quotient field KK and AA a torsion-free DD-algebra that is finitely generated as a DD-module and such that AK=DA\cap K=D. We give a complete classification of those DD and AA for which the ring IntK(A)={fK[X]f(A)A}\text{Int}_K(A)=\{f\in K[X] \mid f(A)\subseteq A\} is a Pr\"ufer domain. If DD is a semiprimitive domain, then we prove that IntK(A)\text{Int}_K(A) is Pr\"ufer if and only if AA is commutative and isomorphic to a finite direct product of almost Dedekind domains with finite residue fields, each of them satisfying a double-boundedness condition on its ramification indices and residue field degrees.
